The UK's Kingsmoor Packaging has produced a festive snowman-shaped tub filled with treats for confectionary company Haribo.

The snowman design has a printed outer carton sleeve which, once removed, reveals a thermoformed rigid snowman complete with embossed features on the lid.

The happy snowman tub contains 460g and 100g bags of Starmix jellies.

Richard Clarke, Haribo’s procurement manager, said Kingsmoor had a number of options for this particular launch, but as a new concept the clear favourite was the snowman.

"Once the decision was made and the design refined, they responded very quickly to produce the required stock to meet our timescales," he said.

Kingsmoor Packaging manufactures food-grade packaging solutions in APET, PP and HIPS – as well as RPET, which contains at least 50 per cent post-consumer recycled waste and at least 30 per cent industry recycled waste.
